End of Laughlin Trip

After having our last buffet breakfast at the Aquarius Hotel, we left at about 9 AM and made a stop at the Davis Camp, which is a campground at the northern edge of Bullhead City. This wasn't on our list on Wednesday because we knew we had to pass it on the way out of town. This place always looked inviting to us because it was right on the river and looked like a huge place. It is huge. The campground is at the base of Davis Dam. It is made up of several areas, including two large day use areas on the water and several areas for camp sites including full hookups, partial hookups and no hookups, which included tent sites. Below is a picture of one of the day use areas on the river:

This shot was taken looking north on the river. The following shot was taken looking south where you can see the bridge connecting Bullhead City to Laughlin. It also shows the casino strip behind the bridge:
Of course, Josie had to test the water. You can see how crystal clear the water is:

This is a state park campground so any Workamping positions are volunteer -that means no pay. The advantage to working in these places though is you get your site for free, so it does pay that much. The normal rates for staying are fairly reasonable although the maximum stay is two weeks for paying customers. This would be a great place to stay if you wanted to stay in Laughlin for two weeks or less.

We headed home and stopped in Flagstaff so Josie could get her nails done before the holiday weekend. It was about 3:30 by the time we pulled into our site at Happy Jack Resort. We stopped in the store to pick up the computer that arrived on Wednesday and talked a little bit with Chi Chi and Jamie about what we missed while we were gone. It seemed like it was business as usual.

Today it's back to work - 7 to 3 - and the check ins begin for the busy weekend. There are several changes that will take place at the Lodge after the Labor Day weekend and we will discuss those tomorrow...
